I remember when I was really little. I mean, I was like "How the hell does a gameboy color work" old. I just got a GBC with my first ever game: Pokemon Yellow. I loved the game, except I didn't know how to leave the house you start in. So I literally spent days trying to figure it out until another kid pointed out the door rugs.

Wanna hear the cheesiest story ever? Let me tell you the cheesiest story ever.

It all happened within a dream. This one was so vivid I still remember all of the details. I was seeing through the eyes of a child. I acted like a child, talked like a child, did chores like a child, everything. I acted like I did when I was little with one major exception: I had two dads.

Time passed as this child was incredibly happy. These parents loved each other and their kid on an incredible level. I, the kid, was amazed at the sheer compassion.

Then, out of nowhere, my perspective changed. I was now an adult looking at a child. Based on simple deductions, I realized that I was now one I'd the adults in the situation. I looked around and felt total happiness.

The dream ended and I woke up. I felt unusually happy and I didn't know why. After some thought, I realized that I was finally okay with who I am.

I tell the story of the crazy stalker chick in my dorm who, sequentially, went after my roommate, me, our mutual friend, our two new friends, me again, then my roommate. They get a kick out of how passive aggressive I was with dealing with her too.

As a college student, I absolutely love my Apple products. Everything is simple and just works. I don't have to spend Ike figuring out why it doesn't when things bread down. A hard reboot solves all of my problems.

I was always an atheist, I think, but I never made a huge fuss out of it before I went to high school. My mom sometimes dragged me to church and I was okay with it because the priest or pastor or whatever he's called was really cool and spent less time preaching about God and the Bible and just being a good person, which a person of any belief should be able to enjoy.

Well one year he retired and his replacement was his exact opposite. He was homophobic, called everyone who never read the Bible or didn't believe in God a sinner and said that they didn't deserve to even be around. Being a gay atheist who had never read the Bible in its entirety, I was naturally offended. I told my mom I couldn't be around that kind of hatred, and she agreed.

I fucking HATED Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. I played the demo and it was great. The gameplay was kind of different and the story at the end faith my attention.

Went out and bought it and had fun in the first zone. The dungeons were great and the extra content was fun.

Then the main story separated into like three directions, as did a the faction quests. Everything became so hard to reach that I forgot aspects of the story. As time passed, I was halfway through with no serious recollection of any plots. I couldn't shoot through the stories because zones leveled up.

Plot is so important to me and the execution of this one ruined the whole thing.

I've become rather cynical and I find it very hard to trust people. I've gotten better about seeing the world positively, but years of torture and abandonment (all of my closest friends ditched me when I needed them most) makes it really hard.

As a follow up, my life as a whole now is fantastic. Doing well at school and I have friends who now actively try to get me to open up. It's a nice change, that's for sure.
